In an orphanage outside Oslo, a 12-year-old boy is causing havoc. The institution's aging director, Agnes Vestavik, sees something chilling in Olav's eyes: sheer hatred. When Vestavik is found murdered at her desk late at night, stabbed in the neck with a kitchen knife − with Olav nowhere to be found − the case goes to maverick (and lesbian) investigator Hanne Wilhelmsen. But when police finally catch up with Olav, he leads them on a chase that will up-end all of their assumptions.
This is the third book in the Hanne Wilhelmsen series, with the most recent, 1222, a huge international bestseller. Also check out the other books in the series. Norwegian lesbian crime writer Anne Holt has worked as a journalist and news anchor, and spent two years working for the Oslo Police Department before founding her own law firm and serving as Norway's Minister for Justice in 1996-97.
